Opinion on this whole protracted situation with Angry Joe. How his confrontation with his own audience began. Where did the angry reviews go and what’s going on with his channel now?. An overview of who Evil Joe is and why game reviews have almost disappeared from his channel.

He’s trying to make excuses for releasing 10 reviews. 4 of them are not even worth mentioning. That means only 6. One per month. He’s capable of more.
Well, excluding reviews from the last year, he has 130 videos of “Malicious” reviews. 130 videos for 8 years = 16 videos with kopecks per year. Considering that he made 6 (10) in the first half of the year, he is quite included in the average number.
Joe created a new format – reviews without sketches, inserts. Only gameplay and my own review. People then complained that they were missing old reviews.
So why is Joe stubborn and not making them now??
WAT? Honestly, I rewatched this moment four times around the tenth minute, trying to grab that legendary essence called logic by the foggy tail, but I couldn’t. The video says in plain text that people are complaining that the content is different, they don’t like it and let him do his usual reviews, and twenty seconds later it says that Joe is an asshole and why the hell doesn’t he do such mini-reviews, although twenty seconds ago it was said that people don’t like them.
We need his trash videos. He will earn more money from reviews. Look how many views they get.
Well, comrades, sit down on someone’s lap, today we’ll talk about what billions a successful YouTuber earns. In short – a zero with a donut. About five years ago, when YouTube didn’t start making all these crazy “renovations” in the field of video monetization, a successful YouTuber could actually make money on which he could live. That’s not the case now.
Now you can’t make enough money from YouTube advertising to make enough for half-hour, fattening, costume videos. That’s why people leave YouTube. They go to their sites, as NK did. They stop making big and long videos, focusing not on the number of video views, but on the number of videos themselves released, because YouTube monetization no longer rewards quality content. They basically stop editing and go streaming because it brings in money.
Cartridge? The inclusion of a nonukgamblingsites.co.uk patron is a division of the public. Always. Patrons are given some content that free users don’t have at the moment. And many YouTubers simply don’t want to divide the audience and force them to “pay” for their content. This is an understandable position.
Why can’t Joe spend all the energy he spends on trash making reviews?? Because it doesn’t bring that kind of income. What’s the point of making a half-hour video, spending money on costumes, actors, editing, graphics and everything else, if you can just sit in front of the TV and play the game while streaming? Views? Well, yes, the first video will have about five times more views. Just how much time will Joe spend doing this review?? Also five times more? More like twenty. And on the stream, the donation will drop, and the effort required is not so frantic, and it’s fun to play. And in the end, we get that Joe will get much less money in terms of man hours when he sits in front of the monitor and pores over editing than when he just turns on the webcam and streams games.
That’s the whole secret. And no amount of millions of subscribers will change that.
At first, Spoony realized that his content, which he had always been engaged in, had already become unclaimed. And in fact, preparing a review with a lot of materials no longer pays off his efforts as before. Then he opened a patreon and decided to set a goal of $50,000 for the filming of his film. He collected the money, promised everyone that he would quit Twitter and there would be fewer videos so as not to be distracted from the film. But as a result, there really weren’t enough videos, and he sat on Twitter for days on end and probably never started making a film. The audience left, but the most faithful remained and still hope for him. But he said that it’s easier to make streams and that 500 people would be enough for him to watch the stream.
Who are you to tell me this here?? Who is Angry Joe? Should I also attach a picture with the inscription “Sarcasm” to the specially placed brackets to make it clearer??
You talk about dislike for the cult of personality, BUT “why do I need anyone other than SG” and three other resources. Hypocritical.
Don’t confuse warm with soft. There is a dislike for the cult of personality, when one person is extolled/deified and there is a rationally selected set of resources that gives maximum information coverage.
I don’t praise any one person (“top reviewer” – quote), I named groups of groups that are interesting to me. RTFM about the cult of personality.
Why is he here? Well, it’s like, he’s an author – sg authors, he’s about games and movies – sg is about the same thing. I’m not saying anything about the fact that blogs here are created to express a variety of thoughts on a variety of reasons. And then there’s the general topic – game reviews.
Finally, a sane argument, but for some reason you turned on the aggression of “not knowing the top” in response to a completely adequate question.
The funny thing is that this is already the 2nd author from Channel Awesome (I think that’s what it’s called), who began to fight with his audience and switched to trash content. First there was Spoony, well, there was a more interesting story there, of course, and now he has also already lost most of his subscribers and views, gave up on reviews and went to stream. Now Angry Joe has gone down this slope.
I don’t know, maybe they really “get tired” of more complex videos with material, costumes and effects and decide to cut simpler content from reactions (I generally despise this type of video) and regular camera reviews without any problems, or they get fed up and decide to cut any trash, because the audience will eat it up.
AVGN has also begun to lose ground, and few meaningful releases are coming out, well, at least it’s doing at least something, even if not a lot lately. Well, apparently, sometimes he listens to the audience and does not develop unsuccessful experiments.
By the way, what about Spoony?? I still haven’t figured out at what point he turned on the asshole. And what he’s doing now, even for streams, is strange. After all, he doesn’t communicate with the audience. Just stares at the camera and plays.
AVGN simply has little left to say, he doesn’t want to review modern games, and there are few old ones left that are worth reviewing, so it’s not to say that he has slipped, he just became less regular, and he tries to compensate with a ton of other videos on the channel, Joe is just suffering from bullshit.
Great logic.
1. "If I I haven’t heard of it, so it’s not top.”. And you, please forgive me, who are you to throw around such words??
2. You talk about dislike for the cult of personality, BUT “why do I need anyone other than SG” and three other resources. Hypocritical.
3. Why is he here? Well, it’s like, he’s an author – sg authors, he’s about games and movies – sg is about the same thing. I’m not saying anything about the fact that blogs here are created to express a variety of thoughts on a variety of reasons. And then there’s the general topic – game reviews.
And in general, if you don’t like it, then pass by and continue to “not know” him, and don’t start empty demagoguery here.
The author of this blog, with a clear question in the title.
Can’t support the topic? – don’t write anything. In 2017, asking on the forum “Who is Mr. X (substitute as necessary)” is empty talk. If you are offended by the phrase hinting that you can google it, I’m sorry, but that’s how it is. Further, I don’t see the point in the conversation, I want to quarrel with someone or discuss a topic that is not from the topic – in PM.
And finally, a joke. 5 people are sitting on the Game of Thrones forum in the topic “Rate the latest episode”, then a random guy comes up and says “I’m the only one who hasn’t watched Game of Thrones.”? What is this anyway??». They tell him – go Google it. And he sues them for insult. It’s not funny, but it’s true.
Well, AVGN has been making its own content for so long, it’s not surprising that it has started to lose ground. You can’t blame him for that
Personally, I have always been impressed by AJ not because of his funny faces and editing in videos, but because he really reviews games well, honestly and without bias considering the pros and cons (with extremely rare exceptions). And for this it doesn’t matter what format the video is in.
Yes, I don’t really care about top or not top, In fact. If I haven’t really heard about him and I’m not interested in him at least to some extent, then he’s no longer top 😉 And why do I need anyone here other than the SG Team?))
And if we talk seriously, then the cult of the individual is boring to me. Individual “reviewers” are not interesting: for me this is a group of absolute no-names from the deep Internet. I don’t want to waste my time on new and unknown reviewers (they appear in friends’ recommendations, but they don’t catch my eye and I don’t need to know anything about them): I chose a certain range of Internet resources for myself
Stopgame, gametech, eurogamer/DF, partially – Gambling addiction, the most important of which was Stopgame.ru: I perceive the guys as a solid team.
And yes, the very word “reviewer”, IMHO, sounds ridiculous, almost derogatory. Here is “Author”, “reviewer”, “critic”, at worst “video blogger” – it sounds.
